This is intended device for cutting glass or tile from 3 mm to 18 mm thick. The working part of the glass cutter is a metal case with a sharpened tungsten carbide roller fixed in it. Note that the head is securely fixed in the handle and therefore deviations from the intended path are excluded during operation. The tool handle is made of durable plastic and has an ergonomic shape. Its presence provides increased accuracy of positioning of the cutting element. In addition, when using a tool with such a handle, you can perform large volumes of work with less physical expense, because the emphasis will be placed not on the brush, but on the forearm.
Another feature of this glass cutter is the presence of an oil or kerosene feed mechanism built into the cutting part. So, thanks to him, lubricant will enter the working area, which will reduce the friction force that arises during the cutting process and thereby increase the life of the roller, and in addition, the likelihood of microcracks on the surface will decrease. The oil storage tank is located in the handle.
It should be noted that a couple of interchangeable heads, a simple roll of 1 meter, 2 bubbles with oil, a glass breaker - a device that facilitates the process of separating the cut off element, as well as 3 spare “sponges” to it, are included in the kit. The entire set is delivered in a box made of thick cardboard and is additionally lined with foam inside, so that nothing should be damaged during delivery. If desired, you can buy a breaker or glass cutter separately. here.
High-quality glass cutter, comparing favorably with low-cost counterparts with increased usability, as well as a more even and accurate cut. Note that the device is quite compact (110 mx 115 mm) and moderately light (~ 380 gr.).
